Pregnancy , ejaculation , and the withdrawal method Posted: 06-19-08 10:37am
Hello,
My husband and I had sex this past Sunday
(May 15th). We used the withdrawal method
(I know, bad move on our part. It was just
a spur of the moment deal and we got
carried away). He did not ejaculate. Two
days later I began to experience a sticky
light brown mucous like discharge. It
would only show up occasionally after I
used the restroom and it was always just a
small sticky string or clot, similar to
what my cervical mucous tends to be minus
the brown tinge. My last period was very
near the end of May, so I figured that I
may have been ovulating at the time that
we had sex.
I feel so disappointed with myself for
acting so foolishly with my husband.
Neither of us are even close to being
ready to have children and we are usually
so careful about using protection.
Ironically, I had planned on checking out
my local Planned Parenthood to investigate
birth control options next week when I
have some time off from work.
Thank you for any information you can
provide me!
If your husband didn’t ejaculate inside
you, you can’t get pregnant. The problem
is that you can never be sure if he really
didn’t ejaculate inside you. The symptom
you are mentioning (light brown mucous
discharge) is not a symptom of pregnancy.
You may want to do a pregnancy test at the
end of June.
